Big Screen | Top 5: From “Carlos” to London Film Festival, This Week’s Theatrical Best Bets

Beginning this Friday, IFC Films will give New Yorkers the chance to watch Olivier Assayas’s 5 1/2 hour miniseries “Carlos” in all its glory with the full “roadshow” edition of the film screening at the IFC Center. A portrait of the renowned international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal (played by Édgar Ramírez), the film debuted on The Sundance Channel earlier this week. But this weekend’s screenings – complete with one intermission, free popcorn and a program book – will also include director Olivier Assayas in person Friday at 7:00pm, and at both shows (12:30pm and 7:00pm) on Saturday and Sunday. Five and a half hours in a movie theatre might seem like a bit much, but anyone who saw the film in Cannes seemed to argue the opposite. “‘Carlos’ is everything ‘Che’ wanted to be and much, much more—a dynamic, convincing and revelatory account of a notorious revolutionary terrorist’s career that rivets the attention during every one of its 321 minutes,” Todd McCarthy wrote on his blog. IFC is also screening the 165 minute version at Lincoln Plaza, with Assayas doing a Q&A after the 3pm show.
